FUSIL is believed to have been ordered in 1900, completed in 1908 by J. T. Crampton, Portsmouth as a 52.5ft pinnace. The vessel's length overall of 52 feet indicates she was pre-1905, when Admiral Fisher's overall decree ran that naval attached vessels of this type should have a maximum LOA of 45 feet. When used by the RNAD, she would have been used as an Ammunition launch to tow Ammunition barges.
